Six Apart has a sneak peak at their future plans for blogging, called Project Comet:

Project Comet will launch in early 2006 and will combine the publishing power of TypePad, the community aspects of LiveJournal and the years of insight garnered from Movable Type. Project Comet is focused on creating an advanced weblogging technology platform combining the best elements of all our products, giving people the ability to easily stake out, build and share their own place on the web.

The Project Comet page also suggests that your blog will be able to incorporate music, photos, and video among other forms of media. Makes me wonder if they are going to work with established companies and services like Flickr, or if they’ll try to roll their own. The FAQ is pretty vague:

Powerful technology that effortlessly incorporates all the digital elements of your life in one place – text, photos, video, music, and voice – so they are available for you to share with anyone you want at anytime.

An announcement like this from Six Apart is long overdue. The purchase of LiveJournal created a ton of possibilities for the company, but I thought they might have come up with their master plan a little sooner. In any case, they have a FAQ page, a press release, and a post from Mena Trott.
